Remember
this post? This is what I'm doing. I am so fortunate to be working alongside a wonderful team of women. I am working with the group
Operation Hope with the
Trash to Treasure project. I almost feel guilty that I am having such a good time with volunteer work. I see such energy & hope in these women that should be broken.
My mentors
Cheryl &
Becky are facilitating
Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. After that I help facilitate with jewelry making while Cheryl is teaching weaving to make rugs & bags. Runda has been our hospitality coordinator & I help her serving the women.
I believe in this program because of the fact that we are enabling the ladies with skills & knowledge to dream & succeed. This volunteer work is so near & dear to me because we visit the Philippine Embassy, the country of my heritage. I have yet to visit this beautiful land, but I feel such a connection with the country & the people because of the upbringing from my parents. They fondly share stories with us & infused the culture into our everyday life. While I am heartbroken over the circumstances that bring the ladies here, I am overwhelmed with joy to work with them.
To my crafty friends, I'd like to put out a request. What projects/tutorials have you seen with recycling everyday items? We're still doing a lot of brainstorming. Cheryl's first project was last Christmas making
ornaments. I've found a ton on the internet, but I'd like to hear what you've done.
